Bakanal vocalists Olatunji Yearwood
aka Tunji Montana and Stuart Silva
aka Silva bring two different styles to
the band. According to Destra, they
are the perfect combination of wild-
ness and smoothness.
Tunji brings the crazy, wildness which he
calls 'zaarti ting' while Silva delivers the
smooth groovy vocals.
The opportunity to be part of Bakanal
couldn't have come at a better time for
Olatunji.
"I couldn't have asked for anything else,
this was beyond a plan. After leaving Roy
Cape and with my parents passing I was in a
hell hole. But things have worked out now
being part of this band and also with singles
doing well on the radio even outside of the
season," said Olatunji.
"So far the experience has been great, it
has been a reinvention for me. My cousin told
me about the auditions for the band and I
went through three days. Before this I sang
with band called Cabezon fusing Soca and
Rock music. At the moment my focus is on
cover tracks for Bakanal but I have original
songs that are still to be released but be-
cause of the lack of time this year we decided
not to rush things. I'm actually working on
stuff geared towards Crop Over," said Silva.
Olatunji who also goes by the name Tunji
Montana has been enjoying success with his
catchy song Tadow that has kept up the mo-
mentum for him since Bam Bam.
"I didn't want to be a one hit wonder after
Bam Bam. I needed to follow up on that with
something just as catchy, you know jiggy.
Millz was actually going to discard the riddim
used for Tadow but when I heard it I know I
had something for it. i realeased Tadow and
didn't really expect it to be such a hit, the
song just gained momentum. And as for
Tunji Montana... he's here to take over the
place and he doesn't care about backlash. Off
stage you will see Olatunji but onstage it's
Tunji Montana," said Tunji.
They both agree that the key to success in
the business hard work and committment to
the craft.
"You have to be on the ball with everything
from punctuality, to rehearsals, to voice train-
ing, everything you need to be on top of the
game," said Tunji.
